Convert meter to nanometer
Please provide values below to convert meter [m] to nanometer [nm], or Convert nanometer to meter.
1 m = 1000000000 nm. To convert meter to nanometer, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nm = 1e-09 m). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 m = 1000000000 nm
- 1 nm = 1e-09 m
- 10 m = 10000000000 nm
- 100 m = 100000000000 nm
How to Convert Meter to Nanometer
1 m = 1000000000 nm
Example: convert 15 m to nm:
15 m = 15 × 1000000000 nm = 15000000000 nm

Meter
The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
History/Origin
The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This changed in 1889, when the international prototype meter was established as the length of a prototype meter bar, made of an alloy of platinum and iridium. In 1960, the meter was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86.
Current Use
The meter is used worldwide in many applications such as science, engineering, and trade. The United States is one of the few countries in which the meter is not widely used in everyday life and trade.
Nanometer
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.
Current Use
The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.
